Canned Heat - Marianhill, Arcen, Netherlands, 8-12-1971

I've been looking for a really good concert bootleg for the band Canned Heat, and I recently found this one. It took place in the Netherlands. I'm not sure, but I think it was broadcast by a Dutch radio station, thus explaining the excellent sound quality.

Unfortunately, one of the band's two lead singers and leaders, Alan Wilson, died in 1970. So he's not on this recording. But on the plus side, two of the band's three hits are here: "Let's Work Together" and "Goin' Up the Country." The version of "Goin' Up the Country" is very different from the hit version, being much faster and more rocking. Personally, I don't like it as much, but I give them points for trying something different anyway.

On most of the songs, the lead vocals were rather low in the mix. I fixed that by using the MVSEP program.

This album is 54 minutes long.
